Hacking Discussion Switch backup loading using Atmosphere-NX LayeredFS

[thealgorithm]

i guess this doesnt work on older firmwares like 3.0?

Requires 5.1.0

Do you think it's worth buying a switch for this?

If you wish to play games, indeed. Things will only get better from this stage with more automation for backup loading etc. For emulation, it is in its very early stages however

Plug and Play literally means you can plug it in and play it. A flashcart is plug and play and does not tamper with the device at all. The SX is far from plug and play.

You're wrong
That's all I'm going to say

The term plug and play originally came from windows in the 90s which specifies that you didn't have to do manual configurations to make the device get detected by the system

In essence the sx dongle is plug and play because it gets detected by the switch without manual configurations.

No. Wait for a better more hassle free way aka SX Pro.

I can, for the love of god, not get the exeFS despite having a fully dumped key file. I can get romFS with no issue but exeFS just wont come out

I did a video tutorial (It's French but there's English subtitles that I wrote)

try this hactool -k keys.txt -t nca --exefsdir=exefsdirfolder test.nca

Probably never? 3DS CFW still don't have anyway to run .3ds file format which is the equivalent of .xci, what make you think switch will get it? There probably will be a way to convert and install but never run direct from xci unless you use something like SX

You never say never in this business man.

Has anyone got Super Mario Odyssey working?

No. Wait for a better more hassle free way aka SX Pro.

SX Pro will not keep you 100% safe as well even though it will be easier to use.

 

[Nawashi]

try this hactool -k keys.txt -t nca --exefsdir=exefsdirfolder test.nca

As in cmd command? Because when I use hactool without an nca, it closes instantly

Nobody said it will keep you 100% safe. In fact nobody even mentioned being 100% safe. Everyone knows modifying your Switch in any way will increase the chances of being banned.

I am certain it wont be long after SX is released to figure out how to load xci directly!

You never say never in this business man.

it needs and nca and yes it's a cmd command, you need to navigate to the hactool folder and rename the part "test.nca" with the name of your nca

is it worth updating from 3.0.0 for this ?

No unless you want to spend all day messing with files because it isn't simple.

 

[SH3RLOCK]

Someone has a fix for the "Section 0 is corrupted" error?

(error shows up when extracting some NCAs)

Better wait a little longer, in 1 month pretty sure there'll be a lot of options and even easier ones.
